Wild Plinia Phitrantha?
« on: March 28, 2018, 02:37:59 PM »
Hi,

Would this species be a wild species of Plinia Phitrantha?
A friend of mine collected these fruits in a forest and according to him the tree is 10 m high, and looks a lot like Plinia Phitranta leaves.
According to him, the fruits were very sweet and tasty, but no more detailed photos were possible because it rained at the time of collection.
Anyone have any ideas on ID?

We followed the work behind collecting dark plinias and without ID!
Thanks.

looks a lot like phitrantha, but hard to say for sure from just a few pictures, because there's so many possibilities in your area.

but yes, fruit looks costate, leaves look right, and bark color does too.  I would bet on phitrantha.
